Healthy eats

Hey guys !! So, iv been choosing what barcode I want for my magazine, and I designed this one!! I like it because many magazines have it, and it looks very professional and I’ll place it at the bottom left of my magazine cover. Moreover, I haven’t been very focused with my magazine. I’m getting a little bit scared because I’m drifting from the idea I first had planned. My first plan was a health magazine in which I could talk about healthy lifestyles and certain individuals changing from eating meats to becoming vegetarian, and so on. I started to think more about that topic, and I thought, well, I can interview certain people based on their change and put it on my two page spread, then I thought it wasn’t going to look very professional, so I said, ok I’ll just to a very basic summary on people’s life changed with no interviews, however I’m scared I won’t have enough things to talk about to fill   up the whole 2 pages. I already have my front cover set which is why I’m not...

     Hey guys!!! I haven’t been doing too good with my two page spread. Iv been having difficulties with what to write about and I feel like I’m falling behind. I like some ideas I have but I don’t find any good ways to express them. I did research on different magazine brands, but the two page spread isn’t  how I want it to be.        Moreover, I researched on health magazines and what type of things they talk about in the two page spread, but for some reason I’m trying to do something completely different with what I talk about. I know what path I’m trying to take, I’m going to talk about how people’s lives have changed after this huge wave of organic industries have come to the modern world, but also why it’s so expensive. I will work hard to try to overcome this bump on the road and will stay in touch with you guys for my next blog posts, xoxo!

Hey media friends! I have been working very hard on my research for my two page spread, since its the only thing I really have left to do, other than take my pictures. I have thought about doing my two page spread with a couple of pictures, and then writting about the recipes.  I like this first one because it has a pretty header, I like the font of the words. I feel like if I put a title in big pretty font, it will grab the buyers attention. I like how simple it looks, but since my magazine is winter themed, it going to have red in it, but i can make it redish and then white and light grey, making it more simple and not too much. The second two page spread is also very cool. That one isnt as simple as the first one. It has more reds and blues in contrast to the first one that has grey and white mostly. The second one I can take into thought also because it has a pretty font and heading, and the colors I think can attract the buyer as well. It has multiple pictures and sections,...

Hey guys! I started to look though the ingredients I need to make my food special, delicious and most important, HEALTHY!!! Im going to put the ingredients I will need to make the 3 foods I would want my magazine to have. Christmas tree fruit plate Tray or plate cut pineapple grapes (green and purple) rasberries blueberries green apple slices kiwi Christmas tree salty plate celery  ham pineapple carrots Hot chocolate snow man marshmellows(normal size) chocolate decorating frosting whole foods organic hot chocolate gluten free skinny pretzel sticks mug candy corn Im going to buy my supplies at whole foods because I want everything to be fresh and organic. Im going to have help from my sister and mom to choose which recipe I should have in the front cover. I honestly think im going to end up putting the hot chocolate snowman because its a cute recipe and goes along the best with the theme. I will keep you guys updated with another blog po...

      Hey guys!! So I thought I had everything planned out perfectly, but then I just became blank. I took time to research how 2 page spreads work, but honestly I still don’t know what to write about. My friend Danielle is doing research on organic food stores, so that limits me from writing about that. I still am going to write about how organic foods has changed peoples lifestyles and how the prices of regular food has decreased because of this organic healthy style. I want to talk about how people are spending more money on buying foods and products that are organic, or vegan.         The most trouble im having creating this magazine is on my two page spread, just because i have so many ideas, I dont know which one to pick. I also have to start taking pictures next week, so i can finalize my cover photo. I havent decided if i want a snowman hot chocolate, or a fruit christmas tree yet, but at least im down to 2 now instead of 4 ideas! My sister wi...

          Hey guys! I had a long discussion today with the studens in my media class, and they gave me great ideas on what to do my two page spread on. Since my magazine is a health magazine, but its based on winter season, they told me to do a couple recipes on healthy winter snacks. They made me open up my mind and i started to think, everyone is into "healthy" now a days. Organic, Gluten free, and no sugar added, are multiple things that many individuals look for now. So i decided that I can also talk about how thats changed within the years, and how many people have changed their life style, and how they feel better now that they dont eat processed foods, and fast-foods.            I want my two page spread to be inspiring and make people change their mindset. Another idea i have is talking about vegeterian and vegan recipes, since thats in style now too.  So here are a couple healthy snacks that vegans and vegeterians can...

Hello guys! So, this is kinda the idea i am getting at! No, this is not my picture sadly, because its amazing, but im going towards that kind of look. I did change the title, and thats how its ending up. I like that font and that size, i think it fits well with the magazine. I dont know if im leaving the letters white because i dont know what my picture is going to be yet. I have some ideas, since my magazine is in winter, I want it to be light colors, like light blue, and white. I found a really cool picture online that gave me a great idea. So i think this is a super cute idea, and i really think it will attract the reader. I love how happy the picture is and how its basically all about winter. Since our magazine is healthy, I want to do this but change it up a little bit. I can make a healthy hot dark chocolate, with almond milk etc, gluten free pretzels, etc. I have so many ideas in my head that i have to stop and write them all down in order, because i feel like im being sup...

Hey media friends! I have been doing research on a famous magazine called cosmopolitan! I have been trying to get my ideas from this very famous magazine because it has a lot of healthy articles, and cute food recipes, which is what my group and I want to do. We are making our magazine unique, but want to base it off of something that we know will be successful. For example I think that if our magazine is decorated correctly and matches the theme, as well as having an intresting topic to it, I think it will be read by many individuals of all ages. Cosmopolitan is known as an international fashion magazine for women. It was first published in 1886 in the United States known as a family magazine. Within the years, Cosmopolitan transformed into a literary magazine, and then became a womens magazine in 1965. Cosmopolitans content includes articles about health, careers, self-improvement, sex, relationships, celeberties, and fashion. Which is why most women of the ages of 16 and up can rela...

       Hey guys !! I am currently stuck and don’t know what to do. I don’t know the colors or font I want to use nor do I know what to write. I like skinny letters because it’s a “health” magazine, and I feel like bulky letters won’t fit well with it. I don’t know what colors to put as the masthead yet because I don’t have the picture I want to put yet. It depends on the colors in the picture because it has to match with the title. I want the picture to be a hot chocolate with a snowman or something else along those lines of a winter theme. Moreover, my team and I used joomag to design our magazine. It was extremely complicated at first, and I was overwhelmed with all the different types of fonts, colors, and editing tools on the website. I have gotten a little better with time, but it’s still a really confusing website.            We searched up bar code websites, and it was also confusing but we’ve gotten the hang of it. This is all n...

So, Im working in class right now with my classmates danielle and kayla. We are brainstorming the different ideas on how to make the cover magazine. We like the pain brush font that looks a little bit like cursive, becuase it gives it a different cute look. We each have different colors for the magazine, and we are deciding if we should have the same color for the title or if we should each have a different one.  We are also deciding what wesbite to use. We are going to probably end up using issuu because we like the platforms. We started looking at joomag and its geat but in the beginning it was giving us a hard time. We are going to decorate our magazine today, and pick out the fonts and colors. Our inspirations are cosmopolitan becuase they have the same type of picture in the front, usually an individual and the title cosmopolitan in different colors but with the same font and sometimes a different color. Joomag is giving us a hard time becuase of the internet in school, but we...

I already know twhat type of magazine i want, for example its going to be a health magazine, and im going to do a winter edition. its going to talk about healthy christmas snacks, also going to state some christmas healthy gifts to get for your friends and family. I also want to put new years resolutions on part of the magazine too.

      Hey guys! I am back to keep you guys updated on my project. I have done research on how magazines work, and the different types of fonts and pictures that can go within the magazine. I have thhis idea in my head about how the cover page is going to look like. I want it Fun, colorful, and with a cute touch to it. The magazine is going to be called healthy alert! We chose this name becuase i thought it was cute in a way that people could be interested in reading it due to the catchy title. The cover page i have yet to decided, i dont know if i want multiple smoothies and salads, or if i want a picture of a person wearing workout clothes, or doing a yoga pose.        Im excited to finally start this project so i can start designing and writting my thoughts. Our target auidences are most likely going to be women towards the age of 20 and up. I want to make it a mostly a girl thing, just because I know more girls are self concience than most guys, ho...

        My names Paulina Patruno, and im a junior at cypress bay high school. I am currently taking Aice media studies, and have learned many techniques and ways to analyze films and movies. For my foundation portfolio, I decided to do a magazine, just because Im interested in designing it, and writting. I have never done a blog before, so it might be hard for me in the beginning, hopefully i'll get better! In the next two blog posts, I have to show my research and planning on the magazine. My friends Danielle, Kayla and I have chosen to do a health magazine. We chose to do a healthy magazine during the seasons of Winter, Summer, and Fall.           In our past class lessons we have discussed themes of magazines, and different ways to approach it. Danielle is doing summer issue, Kayla's doing Fall issue, and Im doing Winter. In this blog, which is my first one, Im just going to talk about my Ideas on the magazine, and in my next two blogs, ...
